You may have already heard that it is "advisable to practice regular sports". Sport is indeed a tool of well-being, with beneficial effects for the body. So if I'm addicted to it, "addict" is a good thing? Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, Like fat, sugar or alcohol, consumed excessively, sport can become dangerous.
Sports in moderate doses is good for the body, and good for morale. Physical activity releases endorphins, hormones that cause feelings of well-being and relaxation, into the brain. The search for this feeling of pleasure can be compared to drug use, because one seeks to renew one's sporting activity in order to regain these sensations.
This is where addiction can take hold. We are therefore not dependent on the sport itself, but rather on the pleasure that results (or even the hormones that are secreted!). This constant search for pleasure can be used as a refuge from psychological suffering, to protect against feelings or thoughts that are difficult to manage. Sport can give the impression of being the only cure for its ailments, making the activity indispensable... even if it means putting yourself in danger.
Thus, in bigorexia, sport takes on a function of care, and loses its dimension of pleasure, entertainment. But the desired effect is of course illusory, because its effectiveness is only temporary (the time when one practices the activity) and its consequences are harmful.
